Most of these come up in the first ten minutes of a call. If yours is not here, that is what the phone is for, and no, you will not get a salesperson.
You are in the right industry but the wrong place. We build the equipment and train the people who do the cleaning; we do not clean for the public. There is very likely somebody we trained near you.
Find a certified cleanerWe built this business to look like a franchise, without the cost of one. There is no franchise fee and no royalty on your revenue. You get training, a proven system, and the option to license a recognized name with an exclusive territory. You own your equipment and your business.
None. Most people who call us have never cleaned a blind in their life. The people who do best are usually the ones who are willing to be taught.
No. About ninety percent of people cannot take their own blinds down, so the business comes to you through mobile work, pick-up and delivery, and drop-off points. You go to them, or they drop off somewhere convenient. Plenty of operators run from a garage and write the square footage off their mortgage.
Less than people expect. You can dry a hundred mini blinds in a one-car garage. A two-car garage with a machine and a drying setup is a real working operation.
Most people do. Cleaning happens on your schedule, and commercial work often gets done after hours anyway. Build it alongside your income and grow it at your own pace.
It depends on what you are starting with, and stainless steel pricing moves, so we quote current numbers on the call. Tell us what you are trying to do and you will get a real figure for your situation.
The online course is roughly twenty hours across four courses, and it is yours to keep. Hands-on training is three days in South Carolina, one company at a time, your hands on the equipment.
Call us. Plenty of operators come to us after buying equipment somewhere else. We will sell you training and chemistry and answer the phone when you have a question, whatever badge is on your machine.
Mini blinds, verticals, pleated shades, honeycombs, wood and faux wood, and most fabric treatments. The major blind manufacturers send us new materials so we can work out how to clean them before you meet one.
You will want to. Roughly one in every six blinds needs a repair, and adding repair keeps that work in your shop. Repair is one of the four courses for exactly that reason.
Cleaning is largely machine time. Verticals, pleated shades and honeycombs dry in five minutes or less, and a typical residential job is cleaned, dried and rehung in the same visit.
The license is optional and runs $1,000 a year. It gets you 37 years of name recognition, an exclusive territory covering your whole town, and twenty percent off solutions and future purchases. We do not take a cut of your revenue.
No. Plenty of operators build their own brand and buy equipment, training and chemistry from us. We are all about choices, and the license is one of them.
You call us. The number on this site reaches people who have been doing this for decades, and after thirty-seven years there is very little you can run into that we have not already cleaned.
This industry is new to most people who call us. Thirty-seven years of experience is one phone call away, and the call costs nothing.
